Hi,

The command gradlew appengineUpdate seems to not be working anymore,

This is the error message:
Application deployment failed. Message: Deployments using appcfg are no longer supported. See https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/deprecations

I tried use gcloud app deploy, but got another error message:
ERROR: (gcloud.app.deploy) Gradle source deployment is not supported for Java8 GAE project.

Do you have plans to fix gradlew file? (I have an web app with some paying customers using Gaelyk at geradordecertificados.com)

Here my build.gradle file:
apply plugin: 'war'

apply plugin: 'appengine-geb'

Hi Serge,

To be honest, Gaelyk isn't maintained anymore (at least, it hasn't been in a while).
Did you try updating the various plugin versions already?

But Gaelyk is still very functional for us :) at least till we stop using app engine one day

It didn't even need maintenance since it's been working so far 😆

Try to ask Scott Murphy (in copy), the current maintainer. He might face the same issue as you.

That's great to know. Your blog used to run on it right? 

I think the tooling changes for app-engine may cause some issues. I have not checked recently :(

Great to see replies from you and Vladimir :)

My blog still runs on / with Gaelyk :-)
But I haven't redeployed it in a while, so haven't experienced the problem below.

Ok, i made it work. I don't know if it the best way, but done is better then perfect.

I used gradlew appengineRun and copied all jar files inside explodedApp ... WEB-INF/lib folder to /src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib. 
Without it, I had some gae ClassNotFoundException.

To deploy, instead of gradlew appengineUpdate, I used:
gcloud app deploy ./src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/appengine-web.xml --version=v13 --no-promote 

I also needed to convert* datastore-indexes.xml to index.yaml and run:
gcloud app deploy index.yaml  

I hope this register can help some of you to deploy your gaeylk apps next time.

Serge

Hello Serge
Your tips helped me, i updated the app successfuly.
But i'm getting the error below when hitting the app:
javax.servlet.UnavailableException: Closs loading error for holder
The error show for classes that sit at app_root/src/main/groovy/packge_structure.../FilterX
I had to put filters there for some reason that i don't recall now, but it always worked fine.
If i move the filters to app_root/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/groovy, it doesn't work, i get the same error on dev mode then.
It seems to me the command gcloud leaves out that directory for classes that previsouly where going in when using gradle appengineUpdate command.
Any tips on how to resolve this?

I just want to say i fixed it by generating a jar file of the classes in that directory and sitting it on the lib directory.
Error gone, classes were there, though my environment is a bit fragile now, because i need to remember to keep the jar updated manually.
But anyhow, working is better then any other
